Current Read - Awakening the Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das - "Breath by breath, let go of fear, expectation, anger, regret, cravings, frustration, fatigue. Let go of the need for approval. Let go of old judgments and opinions. Die to all that, and fly free. Soar in the freedom of desirelessness." “Enlightenment is not about becoming divine. Instead it's about becoming more fully human. . . . It is the end of ignorance.”

"I DON'T AGREE." PLEASE READ MY CAPTION WHY... Well, the quote above may be true, but I DON'T AGREE living with this mindset. In the past years, I learned that when I do things for people, or when I deal with people, I would do it from a place of: "they don't owe me anything"... I would love people whether they notice/acknowledge or not. No, it's not allowing abuse. It's setting myself free from being bound by anyone's response to what I do for them. Because if I think "they owe me acknowledgement or in time, they should notice what I do for them" - I let myself become trapped in focusing on it, and when it doesn't happen, I get hurt, and it stops me in my tracks. Even if I forgive them, processing the hurt takes time. But if I give/serve/show love thinking "people don't owe me anything" - that people I love are free, it sets my heart free as well. If they acknowledge, it's great! If not, love, acknowledgement and appreciation can come from somewhere else and I will not lack them. God can use other people to give what I need. ❤
